In 2023, the re-import of live bovine animals, except pure-bred breeding, to Italy stood at 227.81 thousand kilograms. The forecast data shows a consistent decline in volume from 2024 to 2028, starting at 222.17 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 200.9 thousand kilograms by 2028. This illustrates a downward trend, with year-on-year percentage decreases of approximately 2.5% from 2024 to 2025, and continuing similar rates thereafter. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period indicates an average annual reduction of roughly 2.4%.
Future trends to watch for include potential market or regulatory shifts affecting Italy's livestock trade policies, changes in consumer demand for beef products, and European Union trade agreement dynamics that could impact importation levels either positively or negatively.
